The Debt of Breath

Verse 1

Paved roads

Polished floors

Silver spoons tucked behind your heavy doors

Safe

Soft

Fragile like a china plate

You never felt the desert wind or carried any weight

Advice is just a noise

A fly against the wall

You climb a tiny molehill just to broadcast every fall

Now you're pointing fingers

Crying wolf

Lying low

You think the summit's promised just because you chose to show

I climbed the mountain while you slept on silk and borrowed pride

Chorus

You want the crown without the sweat

You want the gold without the debt

Nobody owes you a single breath

Nobody owes you a single breath

Earn your name

Lose the shame

Stop the weeping

Start the game

Nobody owes you

No nobody owes you

Drop

Earn it

Earn it

Nobody owes you

Earn it

Verse 2

Paper skin

Glass bones

Throwing fits and throwing heavy jagged stones

Fault

Flaw

Never yours to hold or keep

You sew a bitter harvest then you wonder why you reap

Told you so

Told you twice

Told you how to pay the price

But you're allergic to the truth and addicted to the vice

Checking every mirror

Searching for a ghost to blame

While you're drowning in a puddle of your own pathetic fame

Respect is a currency that your daddy's money cannot buy

Chorus

You want the crown without the sweat

You want the gold without the debt

Nobody owes you a single breath

Nobody owes you a single breath

Earn your name

Lose the shame

Stop the weeping

Start the game

Nobody owes you

No nobody owes you

Drop

Earn it

Earn it

Nobody owes you

Earn it

Bridge

Look at me

Listen close

Life is cold

Life is harsh

It does not care

It does not wait

It does not bow

It does not break for you

It will not break for you

Not for you

Never for you

Chorus

You want the crown without the sweat

You want the gold without the debt

Nobody owes you a single breath

Nobody owes you a single breath

Earn your name

Lose the shame

Stop the weeping

Start the game

Nobody owes you

No nobody owes you

Outro

The world is wide

The wind is loud

Get off your knees

And leave the crowd

Earn it

Just earn it

Stop crying

Go work
